The College of Agriculture and Human Sciences includes the Department of Human
Sciences (formerly Home Economics) and three agriculture-related departments:
the Department of Agribusiness, Agronomy, Horticulture, and Range Management;
the Department of Agricultural Services and Development; and the Department
of Animal Sciences.

Historically, Tarleton has been strong in the discipline of agriculture since
its establishment in 1899. Known for most of the first half of this century
as John Tarleton Agricultural College, Tarleton's agricultural enrollment has
exceeded 1,000 majors since 1991. With 14 Texas universities offering baccalaureate
degrees in agriculture, Tarleton's large program is third in number of student
majors and fourth nationally among non-land-grant universities. Tarleton's agricultural
graduates have a reputation for high performance and for contributions to their
professions in agriculture and agribusiness. Many have continued their education
and attained graduate and professional degrees at leading universities nationwide.

The degree majors within the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture programs include
strong programs in Animal Production, Animal Science, Animal Industries, Agribusiness,
Agricultural Economics, Farm and Ranch Management, Horticulture and Landscape
Management, and Agronomy and Range Management. The Agricultural Services and
Development program, which includes the traditional teacher certification program
(Agricultural Education), has received state and national recognition by routinely
leading the state of Texas and the nation in numbers of graduates certified
to teach. It remains first in the nation today. The program also includes options
in International Agriculture, Agricultural Extension/Industry, and General Agriculture
that provide strong student internship opportunities. The Department of Animal
Sciences also offers a pre-veterinary medicine program.

The Tarleton Agricultural Center, supporting the instructional programs in agriculture,
is located on 2,000 acres of University land and includes a 150-cow dairy; beef
cattle center and ranch with 70 cows and feedlot calves; 56-sow confinement
swine operation; 400-bird poultry operation; horse center with arena, stallion
barn, and laboratory; horticulture center with two greenhouses, frame house,
and laboratory-classroom; and a meats laboratory complete from abattoir to retail
processing and sales. Located adjacent to the regional Texas A&M University
Research and Extension Center, the Tarleton Agricultural Center provides excellent
employment experiences for Tarleton undergraduate agriculture majors as well
as research opportunities for those seeking the master of science degree in
agriculture.

Tarleton emphasizes quality teaching in all of the agricultural degree programs.
Agricultural faculty include 25 full-time faculty, 19 with doctoral degrees
from leading universities across the nation. Several Texas A&M University
System faculty members serve as adjunct or graduate faculty.

The Department of Human Sciences provides courses in the areas of dietetics,
child and family studies, foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, housing
and design, and consumer economics and resource management. Tarleton presently
offers a degree in general Human Sciences with specialty options in teacher
certification, child and family studies, extension, and fashion merchandising
and a Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics. With over 100 majors, the department
also provides course work for approximately 1,000 students a year, most of whom
are in education, physical health and training, nursing, and pre-allied health
programs. The Department of Human Sciences maintains and manages a Child Development
Laboratory School, which provides quality educational programs for children
ages 3 to 5 years. The department is currently experiencing an increase in students
from other departments and colleges selecting Human Sciences courses for electives
and from interdisciplinary programs with the College of Business Administration.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS IN AGRICULTURE AND HUMAN SCIENCES
Tarleton State University offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in
the Department of Agribusiness, Agronomy, Horticulture, and Range Management;
the Department of Agricultural Services and Development, and the Department
of Animal Sciences. Undergraduate programs are offered in the Department of
Human Sciences. More detailed information is given regarding the departments,
degree options, typical curricula, and course descriptions in following sections
of the catalog. The departments are interdependent and utilize common resources
in developing and offering specialized programs appealing to a broad array of
student interests.

The Department of Agribusiness, Agronomy, Horticulture, and Range Management
currently offers five Bachelor of Science degrees. Through the faculty-student
advisement process, a course of study is developed to allow the student to pursue
his/her interest and potential while preparing the student for a long-term,
productive career in production agriculture and/or agribusiness. Though not
a requirement for all career goals, a background that includes agricultural
experiences either through employment or high school-related activities is valuable
and may be supplemented through college work experiences, internships, cooperative
education, and mentorships. All of the career tracks within the Department are
strongly science/discipline-based with the goal of providing the graduate with
an academic background necessary to compete in the current employment market
and to be a long-term contributor to the profession.

I. Agribusiness
This degree offers the study of the role of business decision-making involving
the financing, production, and marketing of food and fiber products and services.
Domestic and international perspectives of this role are provided. Opportunities
for industry career positions include food-processing management, market analysis,
financial analysis, loan servicing, market research, marketing management, personnel
management, and Agricultural Extension Service.

II. Agricultural Economics
This degree stresses quantitative, statistical, and analytical decision-making
processes of production, marketing, processing, distribution, and retailing
of agricultural products. Common employment areas include the manufacturing
and processing industries, financial institutions, state and federal governmental
agencies, commodity groups, and farm management firms. Many students choose
this option if they wish to pursue graduate studies in agricultural economics
areas other than agribusiness management.

III. Agronomy and Range Management
This degree includes emphases in plant science, soil science, and range management.
The degree is strongly science based and allows the student to explore the world
of soil management and conservation related to the production of food, fiber,

Department of Animal Sciences

Dr. David Snyder, Head

Agriculture Building, Room 116
(254) 968-9222

Professors: Brown, Cadle, Snyder
Assistant Professor: Hines

The Department of Animal Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science degree in three
different degree programs: Animal Science, Animal Production, and Animal Industries.
In addition, the Department of Animal Sciences offers a Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Program. The particular emphasis within each option provides appropriate training
according to the career interests of individual students. All students complete
a similar core curriculum, required by State and University regulations.

Historically, Tarleton has been known for its practical, hands-on approach to
agricultural instruction. To allow for as much student exposure to real-life
experiences as possible in an academic program, farm and ranch operations involving
almost 2,000 acres of land and eight major teaching centers are utilized as
agricultural laboratories. In addition to the animal facilities, several classrooms,
indoor laboratories, two indoor-teaching pavilions, and an indoor equine arena
are utilized in providing students with valuable "how-to-do" experiences.

I. Animal Science
This degree program provides a strong foundation in the scientific aspects (the
"whys" and "hows") of animal production, nutrition, reproduction,
anatomy, and physiology. Supporting course work in chemistry, biology, and math
provides students with background necessary to an understanding of the complex
physiological and biological phenomena that explain why and how animals function
and perform.

II. Animal Production
This degree program stresses the practical "how-to" aspects of commercial
livestock production with somewhat less emphasis on the "whys" and
"hows" of animal physiology and biochemistry. Animal Production is
especially designed for students who expect and desire a career in the commercial
production, marketing and/or promotion phases of a livestock industry.

III. Animal Industries
The Animal Industries degree program offers students the combination of a strong
foundation in animal science courses and basic business courses needed by graduates
entering commercial and business enterprises related to animal agriculture.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine Program
Students desiring to pursue a veterinary medicine career can complete, at Tarleton,
all necessary prerequisites for application to the professional Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine (DVM) program at Texas A&M University. Acceptance into the DVM
program is quite competitive, and pre-vet students are encouraged to work closely
with their academic advisor in planning their individual programs of study.
